My heart is so full. My body is so tired. VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE, out now.

You grate fresh nutmeg into a pot of applesauce and ladle some into a small, delicate dish to set on your back step. In the morning, in its place, is a small bundle of black feathers tipped with violet, and a rough-made pot of acorn ink.

Keeping the dedication secret from Angela was SO HARD and SO WORTH IT she's the best critique partner and I'm so happy she managed to get her hands on a copy of VIOLET early so she could be surprised! 💚💚

The tiny daily drabbles on this account are so beautiful and ethereal!

The boy fell asleep against the willow, his hands unfurled, and driven by her loneliness, the East Wind scoured the earth for treasures to leave on his palm, so that when he awoke, he would see that there was someone who loved him.

It's been three days since the news officially went live and I'm still not over this—VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE is a BOTM pick for November!

You spend the morning collecting the last apples from the wild orchard, planning a feast of pies and butters and preserves. You always put a small, honey-sweet pie at the base of the oldest tree, and while you’ve never seen who takes it, afterward you’ll find odd coins in the bark all winter long.

You bite into butter-rich pastry, sharp cheddar and a hint of rosemary rolling over your tongue. The crumbs melt like snowflakes behind you as they land on the path, but you never did plan on finding your way back.

Huge thank you to @libraryreads.bsky.social for naming VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE one of their top 10 picks for November!

One of my favorite things is when you compliment someone in public and then everyone around you suddenly feels free to speak the kind things they've been thinking about each other and the line for the women's bathroom or whatever just becomes a huge hype space and everyone leaves with a smile

This year for Banned Books Week, I teamed up w @taradairman.bsky.social & Kellye Crocker, my co-leaders of the Colorado chapter of AABB, to showcase some of what we've been up to in Colorado this year, as well as why everyone should be thinking about banned books and some next steps for our state.

Nonstop enjoyment: VIOLET THISTLEWAITE IS NOT A VILLAIN ANYMORE by @writersofrohan.bsky.social Cozy romantasy with a twist in the plot (villainess redemption) and an even tastier twist at the end. Coming November 18. #ewgc @prhlibrary.bsky.social

I can tell autumn is on its way because the giant jar of coconut oil in my pantry has solidified again.

Just took off my headphones and caught my partner pitching my book to one of his colleagues in a work call and I am blushinggggggg

Had to turn in my phone to get the battery replaced. Guy at repair shop told me they'd send me a confirmation email. Immediately tried to check email on phone. 🙃

What does Mahmoud v. Taylor mean for LGBTQ+ books, curriculum, and students in American public schools? A look at the ruling, its ties to where and how the Establishment Clause is interpreted, the chilling effect this will have, and what we need to be doing. bookriot.com/supreme-cour...

Propagating plants on top of your bookshelf is all well and good until you knock one over and have to scramble to save your books from spilled water and shattered glass

the insatiable urge to reread your favorite books, all while your tbr grows ever larger

The tension between lefties and the perpetual ink stains on our pinkie fingers.

“No worries if not” I say, fading deep into the forest from all my worries if not

"Emily what are you going to do once you turn in your manuscript?" Sleep. I will be sleeping for approximately 5-7 business days.

every new book i write teaches me just how much i still don't know about scrivener

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

I've been dictating so many notes through voice to text while out for walks that my phone is finally starting to pick up on all the correct spellings for the made-up fantasy words in my book.

Not me scrolling on zillow and zooming in on all the listing photos that have bookshelves in them to see if the current occupants and I would be friends based on their reading tastes 😂

Please use this image as the reply post to all dems who're trying to compromise right now. You have my blessing.

it's a 'tucked into the corner of a cafe with hozier in my headphones and an iced coffee sweating through the glass' kind of writing day

So it turns out, writing a scene with food descriptions when you haven't eaten dinner will knock you over the line from hungry to hangry. It's me, hi, I'm the problem

I'm a Palatino girly!

The millennial urge to title all the chapters in my book like they're panic at the disco songs circa 2005

Oregonians: Please show your support for SB 1098, our state's Freedom to Read bill, by submitting written testimony to the House Committee on Education by 3 pm PDT today! This is an anti-discrimination bill for books. @authorsabb.bsky.social olis.oregonlegislature.gov/liz/2025R1/T...

My partner went to Costco and came home with a special treat for me because he is a human golden retriever. Reader, the special treat was a huge jar of pesto that he bought on impulse because "Emmy loves pesto" and he wants to make homemade pasta and reminisce about our trip to Italy last year 🥹

This bill is absolutely insane, and basically begs for the necessity of librarian bouncers, keepin teens away from forbidden sections of the library It's absurd on its face, misleading, and will ultimately be needlessly expensive-- a similar bill in ID led almost immediately to litigation.

This is the (windstruck) face of a woman who just stood behind the Governor of Colorado as he signed into law a Freedom to Read bill that places stronger protections against book bans for public schools within her state.

My partner just now: "I'm proud of you for making it all day in a white shirt without spilling anything on it." I feel so seen. 🥹

Ah yes, the time-honored evening tradition of pulling a new book I'm excited about from my TBR stack, getting cozy on the couch, and... scrolling social media while the book remains unopened on my lap.

While you're distracted by a SCOTUS case about inclusive books in schools, the new leader at the IMLS is demanding that state librarians share what their grant money is being used for. I told you this would happen, and here it is.

So in the midst of the chaos and joy of Eastercon, @ngjeannette.bsky.social and I have set up a charity auction: Genre Creators for Trans rights in the UK and South Africa as a small personal response to what's happening in the world. You can bid on cool things here www.32auctions.com/genrefortrans

Visiting my folks, brought the ARC of my book so they could see it. Woke up yesterday morning and my mom comes into the kitchen holding it and looking guilty, a bookmark placed at about 10 percent in: "Well you can't leave candy on the counter and expect me not to eat it." (1/?)

Celebrated reading several books from my TBR by buying more books for my TBR and now it is—[checks notes]—more. Yes, that is correct. It is now more books than it was before.
